* I learned that just because hubby and son think something is funny even after hearing it 30 times, does not mean that I will too. It's a Wright Brand Bacon audio commercial, which I thought was funny the first time and maybe the second. But I'm so over it now and I have a bad feeling that I will be hearing it many more times. Click on it yourself and see what you think!
* I learned that you should stop and think about what is really in a bowl before you take a swipe with your finger and lick it. A big fingerful of melted UNsweetened chocolate mixed with instant coffee does not taste good at all. And it almost cured me of my chocolate cravings...almost. :)
* I learned that Twitter can be a great thing! The other day, I found new recipes to try, tweeted Bible verses to someone needing encouragement, made new friends, won a coupon for free Purex laundry sheets, and ended up being sent a beautiful necklace from a lovely Twitter friend - Christine (@LifeVerse) from Life Verse Jewelry - her necklaces and bracelets are gorgeous and would make wonderful gifts for special occasions! Thank you Christine!
* I learned that it's fun to go to a movie sometimes! I saw Julie & Julia and left feeling inspired to be a better cook, a better blogger, and a better wife all at the same time. Cute movie and so funny to hear a blogger's perspective that only other bloggers appreciate - "My readers will be disappointed!" - LOL!
* I learned that doctors can be cool. Had to take my son in today with a swollen eyelid. The Dr. determined that it was just a developing stye (yuck). But before that, he put some special drops in the eye to check for scratches, shut the lights out, and used a blacklight kind of thing which made the drops glow. Totally cool and fun - LOL! But there wasn't a mirror so my son couldn't see how funny it looked. After the appointment was over, the Dr. left the room, but then motioned to us and said "follow me." He took us into another exam room that did have a mirror, turned out the lights and turned on the special blacklight thing so my son could check it out! Isn't that great?
* I learned that I like chocolate. Oh wait, I already knew that.
* I learned that part of the reason I don't enjoy cooking (but hello - I like the eating of what I cook) all that much is not actually the cooking itself. It's the total disaster that I create in the kitchen after cooking and baking a bunch of stuff and it is much too unpleasant to clean up! Is there such a thing as a self-cleaning kitchen??
Oh I think that's enough knowledge for today - I wouldn't want your head to get too full! Do you feel smarter? 'Cause you sure look smarter!! :)
Be sure to stop by Musings of a Housewife to learn some more good stuff!
I am so proud of you my friend. You actually learned things yourself this week!!
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I didn't laugh at the commerical.
Oh and my daughter cleans up and I cook! If for some reason she cooks (which is rarely) then I clean up. And then sometimes my husband will even help clean up. Either way I usually don't have to because I've spent my time in there cooking.
Big don't be jealous of my clean up help but it's oh so nice size hugs to you.
I am hoping to go see Julia and Julie this weekend. I was wondering if it would have some blogger humor in it.
ReplyDeleteThat blacklight this is fun. Dyl got a tree branch in his eye and they used it to see if he had any scratches. I was mesmerized. That was so nice of the doc to let your son check it out too.
You had me a bit worried when you suggested something might have taken away your love of coffee! Don't do that to me girl!!
Have a great rest of the week,
Mel

Yes, unsweetened choc is nasty. I've made that mistake too!
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, LOVS-A-MA twitter! I don't know what I would do without it honestly. It really lets you connect with others in a very unique way.
It's been way too long since I've stopped by your blog and said "hi!"
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your funny post! :-) You like chocolate??
{smiles}
Glow in the dark eyes - how cool!
ReplyDeleteAnd funny... you found out you like chocolate... yep... me too and I think I ate all my daughters secret stash that she forgot about! Aack!
I am really starting to get the hang of Twitter too:-)
ReplyDeleteI really want to see that movie because it's about a blogger! I know, how big of a nerd does that make me??
ReplyDeleteOh - I loved Julie and Julia!! It is fun to see a movie in the theatre -- it had been a long time for me too.
ReplyDeleteNot feelin' the humor with the commercial! I think they like the voices--maybe??? Loved the movie and the person I saw it with!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to see Julie and Julia!! And I agree about the self cleaning kitchen. That would solve ALL my problems! :=)
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to seeing Julie & Julia too! BTDT with the unsweetened chocolate...what a bummer! And I think I'm starting to kind of get the hang of Twitter...congrats on the new pretty!
